Head Covering

[larryt]

-  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God

-CONTEXT--CONTEXT---CONTEXT-----INCLUDE THE LAST VERSE TOO--CONTEXT

This scripture was understood by many up until 1900's to mean, if someone is contentious we do not have that custom, neither do the churches of God, that means the custom of being contentious, that is what many understood that to mean up until around the 1900's.

Looking at the sentance I see two ways to be contentious in regard to this passage.

1. One can contend with Paul's teaching that women need to cover their heads and refuse to cover the head. Against Paul's teaching.

2. Or contend with them that won't cover the head insisting that they cover their head. Against wearing a head covering.

If you can see another way to "contend" please post it.

Like I was saying before its according to a womans interpetation of the scriptures and her own convictions. You are right a piece of cloth is not salvation. Only Jesus is. But a woman has the right to wear her covering in peace and respect just as much as a woman who choses not to cover her hair. This is a symbol of her obediance to God. Just like some people wear crosses, some wear Jewish stars its all about symbolizing their faith.

Jesus is our salvation, but if we are not obedient to him, then people are not fully saved, and they will not inherit the kingdom of God. Which means according to scripture they will go to the lake of fire and brimstone, those who are not overcomers, or who do not truly serve God.

Are you saying that we have to be sinless to be with God? Because I cant be free of sinning on this earth. I probably stretched the truth today, ergo a lie, got cranky too at someone, and any number of things. And not obedient to Him.....have you ever ignored the leading of the Spirit? I know Im a bit dense and dont always recognize it at the time. Im guessing I was disobedient a time or two. According to your view, where does that leave me?

If you are told the Good News, then you must repent, and if you do not, then all those who are not overcomers will go to the lake of fire, and brimstone, this is what Revelation says, and this is one understanding of not inheriting the Kingdom of God.

I have read the part talking about men having long hair is that what you are refering to. If that is true, then know this The bible in The New Testament in Cor. is talking about men shall not have a covering in the sense of cloth, or something else over there head, and to prove this, Paul states a truth nature, nature says men should have short hair, and women long, now nature is natural, but is not as important as the understanding this is used to say is right. That was used to say covering the head with a cloth, or something else is wrong for a man in praying, and/or prophesying, and for a woman this is right.Yet it is still good for people to go with the natural with there hair, yet not as important as the covering.

Where do you get the idea that hair length is not as important any more? Both principles are important. The rebelliousness that is so prevelant in the world is manifesting itself through hair length,(piercings, tattoos -- not this thread please). the more these things occur the closer the end is.
